Bonpland GUATEMALA 11 Years Old Extremely Rare Rum 2007 45% Vol. 0,5l in Giftbox

Following in the footsteps of Bonpland, special individual casks from the top rum distilleries were carefully selected in order to refine them in the best casks from our top wineries. Another six months of finish in the fresh barriques is enough for the top distillates, which have been matured for decades, to give them a final decisive note. Each decanter bottle in this limited exclusive series is individually numbered by hand and presented on a wooden coaster.

Guatemala's rum industry began in the early 20th century, led primarily by Industrias Licoreras de Guatemala (ILG), a private group of companies founded in 1914. In the 1940s, the government enacted the Aging Act to force distilleries to create reserves of aged spirits to guarantee the quality of their products. A key feature of Guatemalan rum is that makers use sugar cane juice, known locally as "virgin sugarcane honey," instead of molasses. Sugarcane honey is the liquid from the first pressing of ripened sugar cane. Currently, the ILG (Darsa) distillery is the largest in the country and the pioneer in the production of ultra-premium rums.

Lush and sweet on the palate. A sleek dimension of mango-infused oak intertwined with smooth baking spices and maple syrup.
Gentle peppermint, a menthol top note in the finish underlines the delicate baking spices. lingering.
